Karen Lee Orzolek is a South Korean-born American singer, musician, and songwriter. She is the lead vocalist for the indie rock band Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
The early days of Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs were a self-destructive period of Karen life. Karen did some ridiculous, masochistic stuff up on stage, like rolling around on broken glass and getting blind drunk. But it was highly cathartic for her, too. Karen was subconsciously coping with the attention and the hype, which she wasn’t prepared for. When Karen fell headfirst off the stage she realized she had to rethink her whole stage thing.
Does Karen O have kids?
Karen has dated Spike Jonze and Liars lead singer Angus Andrew, the latter of whom was the subject of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ song “Maps”.
In December 2011, she married director, Barnaby Clay. Their son Django was born in August 2015
Karen reveals how being a mother is “Motherhood kicked my ass so hard. I thought I was tough because I’d lived this pretty grueling lifestyle where you have to go from 0 to 100 on stage, and all the touring that comes with it. But having my son Django showed me how hard bringing a life into this world is.”
